beans for beantown....

while a late entry i felt i should include this if for no other reason than my pal brian needs to know i was on his side. brian's a big boston red sox fan and, i'm sure, is more than a little bummed by the results of the game the other night.
during game five of the ALCS, boston/tampa bay, when the sox were losing 7-0, i was hungry and ate a cold can of baked beans while i watched the game. and by the end of it all the sox had come back from near death and won the game in the ninth 8-7. remarkable. during game six the sox had a good start but then were tied 1-1 in second inning, i then pulled out the beans, cold of course, and ate them, the final result? 4-2 boston. so there we were during game seven and the sox had the lead but then, the rays went ahead and i was forced to bring out the beans once again...the difference this time was that i had already had two bowls of fantastic pasta made by mishi and wasn't really looking to eat anything else, for a while. but at the urging of mishi, garbs and he who can not be named on the blog, i opened the can and went at it.

it was hard but i did manage to finish the beans by the middle of the ninth but it was too little too late...i did what i could to help, but it wasn't enough. sorry brian.
and so it is now the rays will meet the phillies tomorrow and start the world series that not many are interested in...
we'll be thinking of you brian.
